Amazon To Start Running Ads In Prime Video Series and Movies, Will Launch Ad-Free Tier For Extra Fee

Amazon to reduce number of total subscribers to Prime Video service

the Enshittification of everything continues, time to pull back on subscriptions and let the market punish the enshittifiers

Probably for the best. The next time a commercial comes up on Prime it'll make me question why I'm watching this crap and then I'll turn it off.

I've had Amazon prime for a while but I've never used the streaming service. This just gives me a good reason to stop using a prime completely though.

Yarr me hearties!

So the company that no longer can offer two-day prime shipping on most items, has missed their delivery estimates 4 times for me this year, and is often more expensive than local retailers wants to eliminate one of the only value added services to the increasingly costly and useless Prime.

Good luck with that…..

In this case i think having a downloader will be very neccessary, because it removes the ads.

It’s already £95 per year and I only use the next day delivery and the TV. I’m not sure that I want to pay another £30 or so to maintain the ad free service that I currently have. I certainly don’t want to watch adverts.

I could do with cutting my TV services back as I have too many and I probably use Prime video less than the others due to the awful UI.
